Spacious Detached Family Home Near Deurne Station with Office Space
Key Features
Upsides
- Excellent energy performance with label B achieved through roof and wall insulation, HR glazing, and twelve solar panels, resulting in lower ongoing utility costs for the occupants.
- The ground floor office or hobby room provides valuable flexibility that many comparable family homes lack, accommodating home-based work, children's activities, or hobby pursuits without consuming bedroom space.
- Generous total floor area of 227 square meters of living space plus 53 square meters of additional indoor space, along with a substantial 428 square meter rear garden and large garage with mezzanine storage, offers exceptional volume for families seeking room to spread out.
- Proximity to Deurne railway station provides convenient commuting options and regional connectivity, making the property particularly suitable for those working in larger nearby cities.
- Well-maintained with significant recent improvements including a 2018 Nefit combination boiler, twelve solar panels, and comprehensive insulation measures, reducing the likelihood of immediate major expenditure on the building's systems.
Downsides
- The rear garden is oriented to the north, which typically means limited direct sunlight throughout the day, potentially making the outdoor space less appealing for sun-seeking activities and requiring more careful plant selection for garden success.
- Only one bathroom serves four bedrooms, which could create morning queues in larger families and may eventually warrant a second bathroom installation to enhance the property's functionality.
- The asking price of 649,000 euros translates to approximately 2,859 euros per square meter of living space, which represents a substantial investment that warrants careful comparison with comparable properties in Deurne and surrounding areas.
- Built in 1978, the property is approaching fifty years of age, which historically correlates with increased maintenance requirements and the potential for discovering hidden issues in older construction that modern inspection may not fully reveal.
- The property requires personalization and investment to realize its garden potential, as the outdoor space is currently described as awaiting development according to the buyer's own preferences rather than presenting an immediately attractive established garden.
Description
This substantial detached residence is situated at Amstel 14 in the town of Deurne, offering an impressive 227 square meters of living space across a plot of 691 square meters. Built in 1978, the property has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded over the years to provide modern comfort alongside its original generous proportions.
The ground floor welcomes you via a central entrance hall with a separate toilet facility, from where all principal living areas are accessible. The L-shaped living room is notably spacious and benefits from abundant natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere for both relaxation and entertaining. The room offers ample space for distinct seating and dining zones, allowing families to organize their daily activities comfortably within one large open area.
Adjacent to the living room, the kitchen is equipped with a range of built-in appliances suitable for everyday cooking needs. A practical utility room connects to the kitchen, providing useful additional storage space and access to a basement area. The basement proves ideal for storing provisions and seasonal items, making good use of the property's available space.
One of the property's distinguishing features is the dedicated office space located on the ground floor. This room is well suited to home working arrangements, which have become increasingly important in modern households. The space could equally serve as a playroom for younger children or as a hobby room, offering flexibility that many comparable properties lack.
The first floor accommodates three generously proportioned bedrooms, each receiving good natural light and offering flexible arrangement possibilities. The family bathroom is fully equipped with a bathtub, separate shower enclosure, double vanity unit, and a second toilet, providing comprehensive facilities for a household of this size.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where an open attic space and a fourth bedroom are located. This upper level provides considerable versatility, potentially serving as a guest suite, teenage retreat, additional workspace, or hobby room. The floor is accessible and functional, adding valuable square footage to the property's overall accommodation.
The garage is accessed from the front of the property and features an electrically operated door. Above the garage, a mezzanine level offers further storage capacity. The garage can accommodate one vehicle and provides valuable additional space for storage, workshop activities, or cycle storage.
The rear garden extends to approximately 428 square meters, measuring 22.50 meters in depth with a width of 19 meters. The garden currently awaits personal development, offering buyers the opportunity to create an outdoor environment precisely matching their preferences, whether that involves terraced entertaining areas, children's play space, ornamental planting, or a productive kitchen garden.
Energy performance is a strong suit of this property. The current energy label is B, supported by roof insulation, cavity wall insulation, and high-efficiency glazing throughout. Twelve photovoltaic panels have been installed, contributing to reduced electricity costs and enhanced sustainability. The property's main heating comes from a Nefit combination boiler, installed in 2018. These features combine to offer comfortable living with manageable utility expenses.
Location is another advantage, with Deurne railway station situated within a short walking distance. This connectivity makes the property attractive to commuters requiring regular rail access, with the station providing direct links to surrounding towns and cities in the region. Local amenities, schools, and services in Deurne are easily reachable, supporting daily life without excessive travel.
